Johannes Beleites is the new representative of the state of Saxony-Anhalt for coming to terms with the SED dictatorship. He received 81 of 92 valid votes, and a total of six votes went to two other candidates.
Three MPs voted no and two abstained. The previous representative, Birgit Neumann-Becker, will be leaving office in the next few weeks. The task includes, among other things, dealing with the injustice committed by the state security and other GDR institutions.
